The Stink that Binds ch5
A/n: A little...um...revelations...
BPOV
Once we got home, Edward helped me into the house but then went straight into his bathroom. I got changed into my pajamas and lit the candles around the room.
I set up the camera and sat on the edge of the bed to wait for him to emerge.
I laid down on the bed because my back hurt and I was tired.
I don't know how long I had been asleep when Edward woke me up but he'd picked me and moved me to the top of the bed under the covers.
"My girls are tired, go back to sleep Bella." He whispered as he tucked me in and kissed my forehead.
"Love you," I said in a raspy, sleep filled voice and snuggled into his chest.
I was almost back into a dream when I heard him whisper, "Do I stink that bad?"
Oh shit, I must have been sleep talking.
"Edward?" I whispered.
"Yes, love." He replied, his voice stoic and hard.
"We could put our child through college on what I spend for air freshners and candles." I said, now wide awake but afraid to open my eyes.
"You mean those aren't because you are an OCD clean freak?" He asked, curiously.
I held back a giggle, barely, "No, sweetie, those are to cleanse the air of your repugnant scent."
I felt him cringe and I opened my eyes to see his terrified eyes staring back at me.
I smiled and leaned in to kiss him, "Baby, I know what the problems are, but you always seem so oblivious."
He sighed.
I kissed him again.
"I'll try harder." He whispered and pulled me as tight up against him as he could with my belly in the way.
"That's all I ask." I said as I began to kiss around his jaw and up to his ears. Suddenly, I was ravenous for this loving, unknowing husband of mine.
"Um, Bella…" he panted as my hands slipped inside his boxers.
"Mmmhmm," I hummed as I sucked on his neck.
"Do I stink now?" He sounded like a little boy asking if he were in trouble.
I halted all of my motions and he whimpered, "No, Edward, you smell perfectly delicious. Now, get these boxers off and prove to me how good you smell."
And, he did.
Twice.
The only scent in the air was the remnants of our swapping of bodily fluids…the good kind!
A/n: See ya tomorrow night;)
